Ann, you must be pulling my leg.” If her car had been bigger. she would have crammed it with even more goodies! Anthea handed Karen a mug of steaming coffee and sold firmly. “Mrs. Christensen, when you cover to my place, you're forbidden from bringing anything with you! Or I genuinely be miffed.” Karen accepted the coffee, her gaze sweeping around the room before she deftly changed the subject. “By the way, Ann, where’s your mom?” “You have to promisefirst, then I'll tell you.” At the time, Anthea had simply felt a pang of pity for Karen and had reached out to help without expecting anything in return.
Now, with Karen bringing over so many things, Anthea felt truly overwhelmed.
Karen grumbled, “Ann, aren't we good friends?” Anthea grinned, “It’s precisely because we're not strangers that you shouldn't bring stuff over.” Karen's eyes twinkled mischievously. “Then you've got to visit my place too!” “Deal!” Anthea nodded.

Jgave Gerard a look, choosing her words carefully before speaking. “Gerry, how would you feel about your dad finding a new mom for you?” Silence filled the air, ck and palpable.
Gerard was expressionless Not shocked. Not angry. Not upset.
His calmness threw Joff, unable to gauge what was going through his mind.

Delia's words from the day before had been a wake-up call Had it not been for Delia’s suggestion, Jmight never have thought to get Gerard's help.
Gerard was Jonah'’s Achilles heel Jonah could ignore everyone else, but he couldn't ignore Gerard.
If Gerard accepted Edna, then Jonah would have no choice but to accept his fate.
As a mother, Jdidn’t want to see her son alone forever. As a grandmother, Jcouldn't bear the thought of her beloved grandson growing up without a mother.
Edna was kind and beautiful. In Janet's eyes/no one else was a better match for Jonah, After a brief pause, Jcontinued, “Gerry/ do you want Ms. Fletcher to be your new mom?” “I don’t,” Gerard's voice was void of emotion Jwas taken aback. She had always thought that Gerard was fond of Edna.
